Devastatingly, Tamara had warned the surgeon of her allergy and had been told the initial hardware was made of titanium. This wasn’t true.

‘As a result of this Tam now has to go through this painful nightmare for a third time, not to mention the debt that comes with it, if allergy testing had have been done before the surgery then all of this could have been avoided.,’ writes her friend Kristyn Norton, on the GoFundMe page set up to help Tamara cover the costs of her surgeries.

And the surgery is not without its own dangers.

‘There’s a risk my face could be paralysed, so I couldn’t blink or raise an eyebrow,’ says Tamara.
